Species that are considered uncertain risk need a more in-depth assessment beyond the Risk Summary to better define the species’ risk to U.S. environments.
Labeo mokotoensis is a species of carp native to Lake Ndaraga in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This species has never been reported as introduced or established outside of its native range. L. mokotoensis has a low climate match with the contiguous U.S. Since L. mokotoensis has only been reported from one location, the climate match is based on only one collection location. Further information is needed to adequately assess the risk this species poses, so the certainty of this assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is Uncertain.
